An Added Benefit of a Low-Carb Diet

By Jon Herring

Eating a low-carb diet might do more than improve your health and help you shed a few pounds. Cutting carbs can also relieve headaches.

A study performed at Albert Einstein College of Medicine showed that a low-carbohydrate diet reduced the frequency and severity of headaches in regular sufferers. Half of those surveyed said they attained the same kind of relief from the diet as they did from migraine medication.

One explanation? Gluten - which is found in wheat and other cereal grains - has been linked to migraines. In fact, an Italian study found that migraine sufferers were 10 times more likely to have a gluten intolerance than the general population.

If you have frequent headaches, you should be tested for gluten sensitivity (also known as celiac disease). Cutting out the carbs, especially those made from grains, could be the solution you are looking for.

Ha! Saw this topic and though... gluten! Lots of the gluten intolerants I talk to had relief from their migraines.

I get wicked headaches almost daily when I cut my carbs back too much. I hated that. As long as I stay above 40g net carbs, though, I just get the regular and occational headaches I always did.

I did. I still had wicked migraines on low carb. It wasn't until I eliminated all gluten from hidden sources and low carb products (and occasional cheats) that I got rid of the migraines.
